Show Blogger Image only in Homepage and Hide it in Post Page

Posted by Unknown


To hide images/pictures from our blogger posts and to make them appear only in homepage, we will have to add just a small piece of CSS code in our template and then use the class "hidepic" each time we want to hide an image.

Just follow the next steps:

Step 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML ( click on Proceed button )


 Step 2. Select "Expand Widget Template" (make a backup)

     Step 3. Find (CTRL + F) this code in your template:

        }]]></b:skin>

    Step 4. Copy and paste the following code just below it

    <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != &quot;index&quot;'>
    <style>
    .hidepic{
    display: none;
    }
    </style>
    </b:if>

    Step 5. Save the Template.

    Now everytime you create a post, firstly add the pic you want to hide and then switch to HTML tab where you'll see the HTML code of the image you have added that will look something like this:

    <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
    <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhS6EC2ik5upO18jSdfJqY0C7U_kBKGP5j97Bdp18PrFkHNGbGko0XQ_FuMTcCFw9G14eGcnY9M70UgtQo2gbwmJ0Ms1FU6l6vmYSBGef4Iv9KA7F7HmU9-kWl54ZgDSimpJZBmzIixAo/s1600/fire_bird_by_fhrankee-d32af8v.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhS6EC2ik5upO18jSdfJqY0C7U_kBKGP5j97Bdp18PrFkHNGbGko0XQ_FuMTcCFw9G14eGcnY9M70UgtQo2gbwmJ0Ms1FU6l6vmYSBGef4Iv9KA7F7HmU9-kWl54ZgDSimpJZBmzIixAo/s320/fire_bird_by_fhrankee-d32af8v.png" width="320" /></a></div>

    Note: it should be at the exact location where your image has been added 
    (if the image is at the middle of the text, then the code should be found at the middle)

    Step 6. Replace "separator" with "hidepic" - see the screenshot below:

    How to Remove Showing Posts With Label in Blogger

    Posted by Unknown

    label, blogger, remove, how to

    For any default Blogger layout, the "Showing posts with label" message shows up above the posts whenever you click on a label link. As it's a pretty useless and annoying message, many people like to have it removed. If that is your wish, just follow the tutorial below:

    Removing "Showing post with label...show all posts"

    Step 1. Go to Dashboard - Template - Edit HTML (if necessary, click on Proceed button)


    Step 2. Click somewhere inside the template code, then search - using CTRL+F - this code:

    <b:includable id='status-message'>

    After you found it, click on the sideways arrow next to it, to expand the rest of the code.

    Screenshot:

    Step 3. Below is this code that you need to remove - along with the first one, as well:

         <b:includable id='status-message'>
          <b:if cond='data:navMessage'>
          <div class='status-msg-wrap'>
            <div class='status-msg-body'>
              <data:navMessage/>
            </div>
            <div class='status-msg-border'>
              <div class='status-msg-bg'>
                <div class='status-msg-hidden'><data:navMessage/></div>
              </div>
            </div>
          </div>
          <div style='clear: both;'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:includable>

    Screenshot 

     Step 4. Replace it with this one:

    <b:includable id='status-message'>
    <b:if cond='data:navMessage'>
    <div>
    </div>
    <div style='clear: both;'/>
    </b:if>
    </b:includable>

    Step 5. Save the template. Now view your blog and click on some label....there should be no box anymore.

    How to Add the Recent Posts Widget to Blogger

    Step 1. Go To Blogger > Layout and click on "Add a Gadget" link


    Step 2. From the pop-up window, scroll down and choose HTML/JavaScript


    Step 3. Paste inside the empty box, the following code:

    <div class="eggTray">
    <script src="http://fe-blogger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/listbadge.js">{"pipe_id":"1a6640e2a78b2c6e736f2220529daae5","_btype":"list",
    "pipe_params":{"URL":"YOUR-BLOG/SITE-URL/feeds/posts/default"},
    "hideHeader":"false","height":"500","count": 8 }</script>
    <div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9px;" class="ycdr"><a href="http://fe-blogger.blogspot.com/2012/05/recent-posts-widget-with-thumbnails-for.html" target="_blank" title="Grab this widget">Recent Posts Thumbnails</a> <a href="http://fe-blogger.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Blogger Widget</a></div><noscript>Your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript></div>
    <style type=text/css>
    .eggTray {margin:10px 0px;padding:0px;}
    .ybr li  {border-bottom:0px #cccccc dotted; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px!important;}
    .pipesTitle {padding-top:0px;}

    .ycdr, .ycdr a {color:#999999;}
    .widget .popular-posts ul {padding-left:0;}
    </style>

    Step 4. Change YOUR-BLOG/SITE-URL with the url address of your site/blog (ex: http://fe-blogger.blogspot.com) and look to have no forward slash symbol "/" at the end of your url

    Note:
    • To disable the scroll bar, remove the number 500
    • By default, this widget is set to display a maximum of 8 recent posts. To change this number, replace the number 8 with the number of posts desired
    • if you want only the posts titles to appear, change true to none and "0" from padding-top:0px with 10

    Step 5. Save your widget. And you're done!

        }
        #jsddm li ul li a:hover {
        background: #A3CEE5;
        }

        Step 5. Now find this piece of code:

        </head>

        Step 6. Add this code immediately before/ABOVE it:

        <script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'/>
          <script type='text/javascript'>
          //<![CDATA[
        var timeout    = 500;
          var closetimer = 0;
          var ddmenuitem = 0;
        function jsddm_open()
          {  jsddm_canceltimer();
          jsddm_close();
          ddmenuitem = $(this).find('ul').css('visibility', 'visible');}
        function jsddm_close()
          {  if(ddmenuitem) ddmenuitem.css('visibility', 'hidden');}
        function jsddm_timer()
          {  closetimer = window.setTimeout(jsddm_close, timeout);}
        function jsddm_canceltimer()
          {  if(closetimer)
          {  window.clearTimeout(closetimer);
          closetimer = null;}}
        $(document).ready(function()
          {  $('#jsddm > li').bind('mouseover', jsddm_open)
          $('#jsddm > li').bind('mouseout',  jsddm_timer)});
        document.onclick = jsddm_close;
          //]]>
          </script>

        Step 7. Click on Save Template button.

        Step 8. Go to Layout > click on "Add a gadget" link


        Step 9. Choose HTML/JavaScript from the pop-up window



        Step 10. Paste the following code in the empty box:

        <ul id="jsddm">
          <li><a href="#">Home</a>
          <li><a href="#">Link 1</a>
          <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 1-1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 1-2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 1-3</a></li>
          </ul>
          </li>
         <li><a href="#">Link 2</a>
          <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 2-1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 2-2</a></li>
          </ul>
          </li>
         <li><a href="#">Link 3</a>
          <ul>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 3-1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 3-2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 3-3</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Drop 3-4</a></li>
          </ul>
          </li>
         <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link 5</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link 6</a></li>
          </li></ul>

        Note :

        You must change links titles and replace the # symbol with the URL address of each of your links

        Step 11. Click on Save

        Important:

        - if your menu is on the sidebar, or footer, just drag it to your page header and click and click Save again.
        - if drop down links are not showing, do the following:

        Go back to Template > Edit HTML and search (CTRL + F) for this code:

        <b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='1' showaddelement='no'>

        You should change 1 with 3 and no with yes like this:

        <b:section class='header' id='header' maxwidgets='3' showaddelement='yes'>

        Save the Template.

        Next thing to do is to go to Layout and drag your menu immediately below your header


        Then click on Save Arrangement


        Here you can see the DEMO.

        Enjoy! :)

          How To Add or Change Favicon on Blogger Blogspot

          Posted by Unknown

          Favicon (Favorites Icon) is the small picture (usually 16px x 16px in size) you see beside some some site's name in your browser's address bar. Having your own favicon with a nice graphical reminder of your site beside is a good way to get visitors attention. Blogger users can add a custom favicon for their blogs going to the Layout section  and by clicking on the Edit link on the "Favicon" element.


          "For many bloggers, having a custom favicon (the tiny image displayed in your browser’s window or tab) is the finishing touch that ties together the design and identity of a great looking blog. Today, we're pleased to announce that Blogger in Draft users can now add a customized favicon to their blog. ~Blogger in Draft"
